#Spring #April #May #AppleBlossoms #Phenology
These trees, about fifteen miles south in Hudson, were flowering on April 17. We've been keeping an eye on the apple trees here at Lindenwald, as leaves and flowers buds begin to take shape!

Martin Van Buren NPS Q3: Thank you for this question! I hope parks continue the hard work of reconciliation and healing in the stoies they tell. We can and should tell the truth, including that of the dispossessed of Indigenous people to establish the national parks. #ParkChat

Q11: What was your favorite park experience?
(So far 😉)

#ParkChat A lot of people who we interact with online may never get to visit in person.

Q10: As the park experience moves more into a virtual space, how do we use that to continue making people passionate about America's Best Idea?
